The world got a little more magical this week. Amazon showed off its vision of the future of grocery shopping with Amazon Go, and the consensus is that the checkout-less store is truly amazing — assuming the online retail giant can pull it off. On this week's MashTalk, that's exactly what we debate. Mashable Chief Correspondent Lance Ulanoff and I talk about the tech behind Amazon Go as well as its potential problems — logistical, technological and ethical. Whether or not Amazon actu

Attention Samsung Galaxy Note7 owners: the time has come at last to give up on those potentially explosive devices in your pocket. Samsung has revealed plans to remotely update all Galaxy Note 7 devices in the U.S., starting Dec. 19. The update will leave the phone "bricked" — which means it will no longer be able to charge or work with cellular networks. (Unless you have Verizon, which is so far refusing to push out the update. Note7 owners who refused to trade in the dangerous devices fo

If you bought a Samsung Galaxy Note7, Samsung really, really wants you to stop using it. How much? The company plans to push out a software update next week to the potentially explosive Note7 devices in the U.S. that will prevent them from charging or connecting to a mobile network—effectively rendering them useless. In a surprise twist, at least one U.S. carrier is balking at this decision, flexing its muscle as the gatekeeper of its network. Verizon issued a flat refusal to push out Sams

By Andrew Chung NEW YORK (Reuters) - Arista Networks Inc used rival Cisco Systems' network device technology in its ethernet switches without permission, a U.S. trade judge ruled on Friday, handing Cisco yet another win in a sprawling legal battle over patents between the two companies. The judge, MaryJoan McNamara of the U.S. International Trade Commission in Washington, said that Arista had infringed two patents owned by Cisco. The ruling, which must be reviewed by the full commission over the

Colin Furze has come a long way from his first videos, posted 10 years ago on his YouTube channel. That same channel now has over 3.9 million followers, making Furze one of the internet's favorite inventors/adrenaline junkies/mad scientists. Furze lives in a house with a big backyard in Stamford, Linconshire, which is basically where he builds most of his inventions. I went down there to meet with Furze and speak with him about his online longevity, and, hopefully, try out some of his creations.

While some iPhone 6S users have been frustrated by spontaneous battery shutdowns lately, there are others whose power struggles are a bit more explosive. Reports from China claim that some iPhone 6 batteries have been pulling a Note 7 and bursting into flames.

Jill Schlesinger was kind enough to spend some of her birthday with us today to give her thoughts on the post-election economy. She also breaks down bond values, the Fitbit acquisition of Pebble and why it's OK to let your dog sleep in the same bed as you.

The Touch Bar on the new MacBook Pro is either the best feature to come to the laptop in years or the most gimmicky, depending on where you stand. (Glowing reviews aside, I stand by my assessment that it looks like an ergonomic nightmare.) But that hasn't stopped creative developers from finding new uses for the Touch Bar. Now, one developer has made a new music app that turns the Touch Bar into what might be the world's tiniest piano. SEE ALSO: Despite mixed reactions, new MacBook Pro is

For many of us, or at least those born before the 2000s, Kodak can really bring back memories. It was the company behind those hunky yellow disposable cameras of the '90s. It was a pioneer in photography and motion picture film, breaking into the industry back in the 1880s. But with a withering name that's now more nostalgic than contemporary, the 128-year-old company is now vying for its place in the digital world, with a new app and camera phone leading the way. Kodak is banking on that

By Jeff Mason WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. President Barack Obama has ordered intelligence agencies to review cyber attacks and foreign intervention into the 2016 election and deliver a report before he leaves office on Jan. 20, the White House said on Friday. In October, the U.S. government formally accused Russia of a campaign of cyber attacks against Democratic Party organizations ahead of the Nov. 8 presidential election, and Obama has said he warned Russian President Vladimir Putin about con

Just when it looked like the Samsung Galaxy Note 7 was finally going the way of the dodo, the biggest mobile carrier in the U.S. has stepped in to give the explosive handset's loyalists another excuse to cling to it a little longer.
